Product Reviews

After reading reviews across the internet about this model of camera, I was anticipating numerous problems getting these cameras (I ordered 4) installed and working. Fortunately my experience turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

The quality of the housing of these cameras reflects the low price I paid so I can’t really complain too much. If I want high quality metal enclosures, I will expect to pay considerably more. My main reason for purchasing these was to see how feasible a wireless security system would work in my house that I’m finally completing construction on.

The quick start documentation that comes in the box with each camera leaves a lot to the imagination. However after loading the CD into my desktop PC and looking at the folders contained, I found the “real” installation manual. Following the steps detailed in this manual I had no problem getting each of the cameras setup and working.

D-Link has a streaming web portal (mylink.com) that I was hesitant to sign up for, fearing I would be stuck with a monthly fee. I was pleasantly surprised to find no mention of charges and after registering each of my cameras on mylink.com, I’m able (after logging in) to view each of my security cameras remotely via any web browser that allows java plugin to run.

The resolution of the cameras is about what you’d expect of a $35.00 (MCM price) camera. Not great. But, for identifying someone prowling around the house, it’s sufficient assuming enough light is available. Unfortunately, this model does not included any illumination of its own. Other (higher priced) model do include IR LED support.

However, the DCS-940L does include sound so that you can hear what each selected camera picks up.

All in all, I must say that if I want a professional grade, high quality video monitoring system, this would not be in the running. But for an entry level system that does what it says it will, I’m happy with my purchase.

Keep in touch and stay connected with the Edge3 surveillance solution. First in the market with the advanced 960H recording resolution, this system bridges the gap between standard and high definition video surveillance at an affordable price.
